Inventory– Maintain/Remove Transaction History

In a previous post Inventory Distribution History, illustration was provided regarding Inventory distribution history. It is important now to understand the effects of maintaining or removing Inventory transaction history.

Inventory History Setup:

From Item Card > Options > Maintain History.

• Calendar Year
• Fiscal Year
• Transaction
• Distribution

Maintaining transaction history is associated with the IV30300 Table. Inventory Transaction Amount History.

Helping Note !

If you un check the “Transaction” checkbox under Maintain History, IV transactions will not be recorded in IV30300. The following inquiries/reports will be lost;

• Inquiry: Item Stock Inquiry (reads from IV30300 and IV00102)
• Report: Historical Stock Status (reads from IV30300)

Remove Transaction History

Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Utilities > Inventory > Remove Transaction History

Even if the inventory is setup to maintain transaction history, you can still remove transactions history from the “remove transaction history utilities”. Which will primarily remove all records in IV30300 for a certain item number, document number, date or site.
